Westerners fall to Mystic in 12th

on June 19, 2014

GROTON -- A leadoff walk in the bottom of the 12th inning of a scoreless game doomed the Danbury Westerners on Thursday night, as that runner eventually came around to score and give the Mystic Schooners a 1-0, walk-off victory in a New England Collegiate Baseball League game at Fitch High School.

Kevin Torres started on the mound for Danbury and scattered just two hits and two walks over six innings. Andrew Schwaab relieved him and allowed one hit and no walks over the next three innings. Mystic pitchers Chris Kalica, Jacob Hendren and Louis Concato matched Danbury zero-for-zero, with Concato earning the win with 2 2/3 innings of one-hit relief.

Zach Lavy had three hits and Joshua Palacios had two hits for the Westerners, who are off Friday and will host the New Bedford Bay Sox in a doubleheader Saturday at Rogers Park beginning at 5 p.m.
